If you have wife and kid in the car forget entirely about driving the
segments non-stop, or rent an RV for the trip. For whatever reason women
and children are rarely ever able to synchronize things like bathroom
breaks with regular fuel stops. It's quite different if it's just you
driving solo. As always if you get at all tired or fatigued pull over
and rest.

As for road chow, onboard food should be limited to drinks like water /
powerade / diet soda, fruits and nuts / trail mix / granola bars. Most
anything else will tend to over fill you, require extra rest stops or
drain energy.
